I'm getting horrible battery life(cm10)

When I first started using cm10 my battery life was fine but but now it's pathetic.. like from 73 percent to 43 percent in a half hour. Love cm10 but it's time to turn to stock. :mad:

I haven't even been using the phone and its obviously doing a lot of stuff by itself. Definitely not scheduling itself right

I'm kinda in a simlar boat as you. I LOVE cm10, in my case it's paranoid android, based off cm10, but it seems that battery life has gotten worse, and it seems to be a bit more sporadic as well. Takes yours for instance, it's all over the place, up then down, then up again, then down, that's insane. Mines not as drastic as that, but the battery life is rather annoying considering I used to stretch like 12 hrs avg, now if I use it like I did before I'm getting like 8 and maybe even stretching to 10.....and this is with green power saver installed (same thing as juice defender) so it should in no way be getting worse, it should be the same if anything. I prefer battery over most anything else, and if that's being compromised then I will just deal with being on stock.


As for factory reset, yes, I did that, and I also did cache and dalvik wipe, even thought it may not be needed, I like to cover all my bases then it leaves no doubt.

I have had this rom on for about 3 days now, and am doing a battery stat wipe and battery drain process, so I will give it another day or so, but if there is no change I am going back to stock.
 
go FK23 best battery I've had


speaking of, I'm in the process of doing that now, doing fk09 rom (has the fk09 kernel built in) then flashing the fk23 kernel via recovery.

I've been reading that the new modem caused the issues with the mute bug, so I'm gonna test it, but they are saying very good things with fk23. It looks also as if this will be the last build before the final, and there is hopes they will have a final out before xmas, because of the lawsuit with apple and all. I haven't followed it real close, but as I understand it, if the lawsuit goes thru, it means they wouldn't be able to push out the ota of this new rom, as it would be infringement from the apple lawsuit, then again I'm not a lawyer so I could be blowing smoke too, just a guess on my part lol
 
Did you factory reset after flashing to CM10?

I was using the rom for 2 months. Battery seemed to get worse over time.. Unless I just liked the rom so much I wanted to believe it was getting decent life. In the end it was going from 70 percent to 30 percent in a matter of minutes. That isn't normal under any circumstance. It could have been the kernel with the touch recovery. Regardless I was starting to miss features on stock anyway.. Happy with STOCK ROM for now.

You should really try the FK23 rom, it's really a nice change. I've only had this phone for about a month and I can tell you from personal experience, that this rom is liek having a new phone again. Everything is so responsive, and snappy, and everything works really well, gps is locked on within like avg of 2-3 seconds, bluetooth works fine, just overall it's very nice. Battery life from what I can trell seems to be a lot better than the roms out. Seems Samsung did thier homework on this one, it's a VERY nice change.

Just my input
